Could Apple be set to unveil its biggest product yet?

APPLE could be set to make its biggest new product announcement since the iPhone, with the tech giant set to be entering into the world of augmented reality.

It is believed Apple has joined forces with German lens specialist Carl Zeiss to create AR/mixed reality smart glasses that will arrive on the market sometime this year.

This is according to tech evangelist Robert Scoble, who claimed a Zeiss employee confirmed the partnership at this year's CES.

"A Zeiss employee confirmed the rumours that Apple and Carl Zeiss AG are working on a light pair of augmented reality/mixed reality glasses that may be announced this year.," he wrote on his Facebook page.

"That explains why there was no augmented reality in Zeiss's booth even though it was right in the middle of the AR area."
